A1 City of Belmont Attachments Ordinary Council Meeting Held 28 June 2011 A2 ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING 28 June 2011 Attachments Ordinary Council Meeting 28/06/11 Item 12.1 refers Attachment 1 Submissions A3 CITY OF BELMONT SCHEDULE OF SUBMISSIONS Application Number: Development Description: Address of Development: No. 1. Name Q Fenn 82/2011/DA McDonald's Restaurant 235 Great Eastern Highway BELMONT 6104 (Lot 716 PL 67261) Affected Property Outside Referral Area Resume of Submission Entry and exit to the proposed site will be from Daly Street. There is no ability to turn right onto Daly Street from Great Eastern Highway when heading east. This will mean customers will use the residential side streets of Barker, Daly, Elmsfield Streets and Hardey Road. In addition, Belgravia Estate will be used a 'cut-through' area. As a result there will be an increase in traffic using the local residential area for the sole purpose of purchasing and consuming take away food. This presents a problem to families, local sports clubs and community members who enjoy, contribute to and treat with care the local amenities. Increased traffic puts children and families who frequent Centenary Park at risk of traffic accidents. Increased traffic increases the likelihood of ‘burn outs’, speeding and other hoon activities from which the residential area already suffers, particularly Barker and Daly Streets. 24 hour take-away will bring late night noise into our residential area as a result of vehicles using local roads to access the site, customers congregating at the site and customers using the parking at Centenary Park to gather and consume their meals. 24 hour take away encourages anti-social use of local amenities and Centenary Park; litter in our parks and gardens and damage to the wetland ecosystem, encouraging scavenger birds like seagulls and white ibis. The known activity associated with a 24 hours McDonalds site violates the residential character and amenity of our locality, in particular the positive, family orientated community spirit that has strengthened with the development of new residences and investment from the Department of Environment and the City of Belmont to upgrade the recreational facilities and ecological status of Centenary Park. We encourage our Council to support its residents in their endeavours to contribute and maintain a better Belmont. Officer Comment Traffic A traffic impact statement was submitted as part of the development application and was assessed by the City’s Technical Services Department. The City’s Technical Services Department recognised that there will be an increase in traffic associated with the development but the increase will not exceed the acceptable capacity of these roads. Notwithstanding that the traffic increase will not exceed the acceptable capacity of the local road network, the use of Belgravia Road/ Barker Street/ Daly Street and/or Hardey Road/ Elmsfield Street/ Daly Street for additional traffic at all hours for the scale of the development proposed will negatively impact on the amenity of residents and businesses. This impact will only be exacerbated when there is no longer any option of turning right directly onto Daly Street when the upgrading works to Great Eastern Highway are completed. The City has experienced similar traffic amenity concerns as a result of the existing McDonalds Fast Food Restaurant on the corner of Lyall Street and Great Eastern Highway, Ascot. In an effort to reduce the impact on the surrounding Residential Stables zone Council ultimately resolved to cul-desac Lyall Street, thus preventing customers from driving through the Residential and Stables zone. This action also dramatically reduced the amount of litter discarded within the zone. In this instance the implementation of a cul-de-sac option within Daly Street in close proximity to Great Eastern Highway would disadvantage existing businesses and impact on their amenity. The City’s Technical Services have also advised that restricting access to Daly Street would also impact on access to the Belgravia Residential Estate and also access to Centenary Park (an active and passive recreation facility). The City is aware that speeding is currently an issue along Daly Street. With the increased traffic flows along the surrounding streets, speeding may become more of an issue and the Council may need to consider traffic management measures along Barker St, Daly St and Elmsfield Street to control traffic speed. The City’s Technical Services have advised that until this problem occurs and adequate research is conducted into the complaints being received, it is challenging and problematic to confirm exact measures that will be taken to address the problems. Currently there is an informal access arrangement available through the adjoining mixed business site at 237 Great Eastern Highway Belmont. The subject application proposes an easement in gross through the lot and the adjoining owner has verbally stated his approval for a vehicle access arrangement between the two lots to be formalised. Anti-social Behaviour A4 No. Name Affected Property Resume of Submission Officer Comment In regard to the issues of security and safety, Draft Local Planning Scheme No. 15 (adopted by Council for final approval February 2011) introduces a new aim “to maximise the built-in safety of the City”. The Western Australian ‘Planning Commission’s Designing Out Crime Guidelines’, state that “Peoples’ behaviour, particularly in terms of the possibility of offending, as well as an individual’s perception about their safety, can be influenced by the design of that environment.” In this instance, peoples’ perceptions of their safety and the compatibility of the use is of primary importance. The Designing Out Crime Guidelines state that “A balanced land use mix is important in terms of safety and the perception of safety. An appropriate land use mix can facilitate a mix of activities occurring in the environment at different times during the day and night, which increase and sustain legitimate and appropriate use.” Whilst the proposal will result in sustained use of the facility over extended hours, it is considered that the scale of the operation and the hours of operation will in fact erode existing safety levels. Whilst only the drive through operation will be functioning late night/ early mornings, vehicles will be entering and leaving the site on an ongoing basis, even if patrons enter the site, eat and then leave without accessing other sites nearby (such as Centenary Park), the constant flow of traffic will impact on the perception of peoples safety particularly in the nearby Residential Estate. The application was referred to the Coordinator for Crime Prevention who in liaison with the Belmont Police reviewed any incidents of anti-social behaviour in regard to fast food/ take away outlets in the City. It was concluded that based on the existing Abernethy Road McDonalds and Lyall Street McDonalds there is currently no evidence to suggest that anti-social behaviour will increase with the proposed development. Indeed, McDonalds Management have advised that the following operational and management procedures will be in place: •McDonald’s staff members are trained to deal with issues associated with anti-social behaviour. •Appropriate signage installed adjacent to entries and exits and externally in the t •Security cameras will also be installed on the periphery of the building to allow s •Lighting will also be installed to external areas of the restaurant including the car park and drive-thru lane. Glare shields will also be installed to prevent light spillage. •Due to a subsidised meal programme for emergency services police are often frequent visitors to McDonald’s restaurants. Whilst the management procedures above are acknowledged, it is considered that the measures will not be sufficient to ensure that there will be no impact on the amenity of existing residents in regard to safety concerns. Moreover, in comparing incident reports for the two existing sites in the City, it is argued that the site on Great Eastern Highway and Lyall Street is no longer comparable as Lyall Street has been cul-de-sacced (in direct response to traffic, safety and litter issues) and the Abernethy Road site is located within the Town Centre and effectively buffered by the Town Centre Frame area. 24 Hour Operations Whilst TPS14 does not specifically reference hours of operation of a business, such hours may be considered under clause 5.8 where Council exercises discretion. As detailed under Anti-Social Behaviour it is considered that the hours of operation will in fact erode existing safety levels. Whilst only the drive A5 No. Name Affected Property Resume of Submission Officer Comment through operation will be functioning late night/ early mornings, vehicles will be entering and leaving the site on an ongoing basis, even if patrons enter the site, eat and then leave without accessing other sites nearby (such as Centenary Park), the constant flow of traffic will impact on the perception of peoples safety particularly in the nearby Residential Estate. Litter In regard to the issue of litter on site McDonalds have advised of the following operational and management procedures: •Hourly inspections of the restaurant car-park are conducted to collect any discarded litter; •A litter patrol each morning which ensures litter is collected from the car-park, landscape areas and surrounding footpaths and verges in proximity to the development. External to the site there are bins provided within Centenary Park and to date the City has not received any reports of an inadequate supply in this location. Whilst it cannot be assumed that there will be direct correlation between the proposed development and an increase in the amount of litter within the vicinity, the experience of Lyall Street shows that until vehicle access was curtailed litter was an issue in the surrounding Residential and Stables precinct. Noise Regarding the issue of noise on site, the City’s Health Department have assessed the application in accordance with the Environmental Protection (Noise Regulations) 1987 and found that the application is compliant. External to the site, as previously commented on in considering safety issues, there will be movement of traffic at all hours of the day/night. Whilst late night noise associated with car movements and/or anti-social behaviour is impossible to quantify it is unlikely to exceed Noise Regulations however may impact on residents perception of their safety and provide for noise events that would not normally be associated with a quiet residential estate. Community The McDonalds restaurants actively encourage the community through employment, and community support. The subject restaurant will be used as a meeting place for local service organisations, parents and citizen groups. In addition to this the new restaurant will provide approximately 100 new full, parttime and casual jobs with current figures showing hat approximately 90% of existing McDonalds employees live within a 3-4 kilometre radius of the restaurant of their employment. Notwithstanding the potential employment opportunities, it is considered that the adverse amenity impacts of the proposal would erode the strong community identity established within the Belgravia Residential Estate. 2.

V Barlow Inside Referral Area Submission pro-forma submitted. Refer to Submission 1 above for details/response. Refer Submission 1. 8. Y Pintabona and B Trigger Inside Referral Area Increased Traffic to Local Residential Area The planning application for a McDonald's at 235 Great Eastern Highway proposes entry and exit driveways off Daly Street. The Council has advised that McDonalds intention is that the site services only drivers of vehicles travelling west (towards the City) on Great Eastern Highway, thus traffic will turn left onto Daly Street and then return to Great Eastern Highway without affecting residential homes. However, it is unrealistic to expect that drivers traveling east will not want access to the McDonald's. Refer Submission 1. Whilst McDonald's Ascot is on the right hand side of Great Eastern Highway travelling east, it is 2kms further and customers may either not know this or be unwilling to drive the further distance if they have no need to travel in that direction. The Roads and Traffic Authority's 'Guide to Traffic Generating Developments' notes that typically, about 35% of McDonald's customers are passing trade. This means that up to 65% of expected customers to this site will be travelling with the sole purpose of getting McDonald's. Therefore drivers are unlikely to be willing to drive further than they deem necessary. Drivers travelling east will use Belgravia Street and Hardey Road to reach Daly Street, bringing excessive, non-local traffic down Barker, Elmsfield and Daly Streets in front of residential homes. Furthermore, drivers from the local area will use Belgravia and Barker Streets to access Daly Street and Elmsfield and Daly Streets to avoid lights at Hardey Road. The increase in traffic along these roads will include commercial vehicles delivering consumables to McDonald's. Furthermore, theses deliveries will be made at McDonald's quietest times to enable minimal disruption to their profit making capacity. These times will therefore be when noise will be of most disruption to residents. It is unreasonable to expect that A7 No. Name Affected Property Resume of Submission delivery trucks will always access the site by travelling west on Great Eastern Highway, which means they will access Daly Street from either Barker or Elmsfield Streets and therefore travel down residential roads. It is also likely that roads within Belgravia Estate will be affected by residents of surrounding areas cutting through to access Daly Street. This cutting through behaviour is already an issue for residents, evidenced by the erection of signs stating that only local traffic is allowed in these areas. Anti-social Use of Residential Roads and Amenities Barker and Daly Streets already have a problem with drivers accelerating hard and speeding, creating excessive noise and potential harm to residents and visitors using this park. The significant width of Daly Street, made even greater by the diagonal carparking bays for park use, makes it a target for this kind of behaviour. It is reasonable to expect that an increase in traffic will result in an increase in the number of drivers who abuse this road. Residents have witnessed speeding on Daly Street at all hours, so this is not just an after hours issue. Furthermore, children access Belmont Primary School by walking unsupervised through Centenary Park and crossing Daly Street. Excess traffic puts these children at risk. The Department of Environment and the City of Belmont have invested significant funding into upgrading Centenary Park and promoting a friendly, postitive family atmosphere with improved walking paths and increased playground and BBQ facilities. Along with the increase in local residences in the Belgravia Estate, this has facilitated a thriving, positive community vibe, which will be violated by vehicles passing through and using the area for the sole purpose of purchasing and consuming take away food. As it is likely that only drive-thru facility will be open 24hrs, customers will use the parking at Centenary Park to consume their late night meals. This will bring noise to sleeping Daly Street residents and litter to both the park and gardens of residents. Already litter from take away food is an issue for residents of Daly Street, so it is reasonable to expect that this will worsen with 24hr take away access and late night use of the park. Excessive Noise for Residential Area The noise of concern relates to that resulting from: • • • • • Increased traffic; Anti-social hoon driving as is already common on Daly Street; Acceleration of vehicles entering and exiting the site; Conversations and car music systems of customers who gather in the site's car park; and Customers who bring the above behaviours to the car park at Centenary Park in front of Daly Street residences after hours. 24hr McDonald's sites are known hang outs for people to meet and Officer Comment A8 No. Name Affected Property Resume of Submission congregate after hours, particularly on weekend nights. Whilst security on site may move on anti-social customers, Centenary Park will be a prime spot for this behaviour to move to. This places the onus on residents and the Council to address the problems caused by a profit making enterprise. Homes on Daly Street were built to experience the natural beauty of the area, with many bedrooms at the front of homes. Excessive noise by non-local vehicles pasing through and using the area for the sole purpose of purchasing and consuming take away food destroys the amenity of the street that prompted the purchasing of land and building of these homes. Beyond Daly Street residents, the noise and behaviours inevitable to a 24hr McDoanld's site impact on all who enjoy the tranquil, family friendly amenity that residnets and the Council have worked hard to achieve in Centenary Park. Litter in Centenary Park and Residential Gardens In the most recent Branded Litter Study conducted by the Keep Australia Beautiful Council, McDonald's comprised 64.3% of all take away and drink litter. This indicated that the presence of a 24hr McDonald's restaurant will dramatically increase localised litter. As the proposed entry and exit points for the drive thru are on Daly Street, there is a high likelihood of customers exiting the venue to consume their purchases in the parking spots along Daly Street, adjacent to Centenary Park. This will undoubtely increase rubbish in the area. Whilst McDonald's has litter reduction and management practices, this is unlikely to include the local park and residents' gardens. This ultimately means an increased burden on both local residents and the local council to attempt to control the resulting litter problem. The result will be significant damage to both the aesthetic and ecological aspects of the area, with take away rubbish appearing unsightly and attracting non-local scavenger birds such as seagulls and white ibis to the wetland. As evidence of these issues being of real concern, we have attached several online news reports of the problems faced by Councils and residents living near 243hr McDonald's sites. We hope that our council will be proactive and prevent these issues from having the opportunity to arise and/or be exacerbated beyond current levels. And in so doing, prevents the ill will and extra work and resource drain faced by councils such as Banyule City Council: 'Council writes to McDoanld's advising that the measures they have introduced to date have not adequately addressed the issues and concerns raised by local residents in relation to noise, vehicle use of surroudning streets and hoon behaviour'. (Taken from the Minutes of the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 27/11/2008). Several Councils have deemed McDonald's not suitable for their proposed site or not suitable for 24 opening hours due to the impact on the residential community.

Refer to Submission 1 above for details/response. Refer Submission 1. We can speak on behalf of the majority of residences in Belgravia Estate, that when we purchased our blocks of land or established homes in this new estate, we paid a premium price. This cost for us to live in this location was balanced out by the prospect of living close to the City, easily accessible area but far outweighed by the idea that we have purchased near a beautiful, tranquil park land and lake area, where our young children (of which there are many young families in the estate) are able to play in the playground and cross the road reasonably safely as it should have been a local area traffic street. There are a lot of times when this area is exactly as we dreamed it would be. However, McDonald's opening in the proposed location will only enflame and encourage the below examples of occurrences that take place regularly a couple of hundred metres from the proposed location. 1. It is common knowledge that a McDonald's restaurant attracts people from all walks of like, particularly because many of these are open 24/7 these days. The car park is a popular place to hang out for hooligans and people who have nothing better to do than loiter, meet in groups or gangs, do burns outs etc particularly at night. The proposed location is 200 to 300m down the street from the Centenary Park Rugby Club and its own car park which is directly opposite homes and then merges into the Centenary Park playgrounds and BBQ areas. Over the past two years that we have lived in this estate this car park has been the source of many frightening and dangerous occurrences next to our homes. • • • During rugby season, Daly Street is used as a car park itself, due to inadequate bays at the club. Making it extrenely dangerous to pull into from our driveways and Vaucluse Circuit. The verges are completely blocked. When the cars leave, only rubbish is left behind. This car park has been used as the waiting area for a brothel that was operating on Daly Street. It encouraged many unwelcome characters to sit and wait their turn at the brothel whilst watching children play in the playground (Pedophile Concerns). People currently park their cars along the car park of Daly Street to While the comments on land value are noted, this is an issue that is not deemed as a valid planning consideration. A10 No. Name Affected Property • • • Resume of Submission engage in sexual activities at night because there is inadequate lighting and it is a nice quite location, and they won't be disturbed. Groups of youths in cars meet in this car park already in the evenings, and behave in an unruly fashion, making noise and playing loud music, fighting, smashing street lights, graffiting the park and doing burn outs. When they leave what is left is like a rubbish tip, the rubbish left behind is usually that of the other fast food take away places, these being the Hungry Jacks on Great Eastern Highway or the other McDonald's on Great Eastern Highway. One of the most recent events being on Saturday 26 March 2011 at 3:10am we were woken to a horn blasting only to find that a stolen car had been dumped and set on fire in the first car bay approximately 10m from our house. Watching it be engulfed in flames, explode, engulf the tree it was parked under and watch the embers blow over to our house was extremely dangerous and frightening. We could have been seriously injured or left homeless because another person has decided that Daly Street is a good place to do something stupid. On Saturday 12 March at approximately 12:15am we were mortified to witness a white ute parked on the grassed area of the corner of Daly Street and Vaucluse Circuit, in front of our house. Two people began to have sexual intercourse and much to our horror got out of the ute and continued this under a street light in front of our house. This is not normal behaviour in a public place. 2. Centenary Park - The City of Belmont has done an amazing job of revitalising this park. The wildlife is thriving; people are using the playground and BBQ facilities which were installed over the last couple of years. We have seen a major increase in children playing at the park and crossing the road. Whilst this is happening we have also seen a major increase in traffic using Daly Street as a short cut from Great Eastern Highway. The majority of vehicles travel this road at great speeds, ignoring the fact that it is a local road and children and wildlife are constantly crossing. We have aired our concerns with the city of Belmont on previous occasions about increasing slow points or something of this nature, only to be told that more trees would be planted to create a tunneling, effect encouraging motorists to slow down. We have had a least three high speed car chases down this street involving police over the last 1.5 years, numerous amounts of hooligans doing burnouts, drag racing and using Vaucluse Circuit as a race track at all hours of the day and night. Wildlife has been killed whil crossing and it is only a matter of time until it is a child or person who is killed by a speeding car. Building a McDonald's at the end of the street would drastically increase the amount of traffic using Daly Street. 3. Daly Street is already a dangerous street to live on, its lcoation next to Centenary Park and lake entices people from all walks of life to use it as a thoroughfare to Great Eastern Highway and the fast food outlets already there. In the two years we have lived there, our cars have been broken into three times, bricks have been thrown at our bedroom Officer Comment A11 No. Name Affected Property Resume of Submission window, bottles have been thrown out of cars at our house and fence, rubbish is always thrown out onto our corner verge. We have witnessed youths on bikes graffiting the park and signage. After events are held at Ascot Racecourse, people use Daly Street as a short cut and we have yelling and screaming, breaking of alcohol bottles, fighting etc going on as they walk through. This is extremely frightening. Officer Comment 4. Great Eastern Highway is a difficult road to use as there are very few turns into and around points on it. This means that customers using the McDonald's will most likely drive down Daly Street as an easier alternative to getting back onto Great Eastern Highway. Traffic will dramatically increase on what is meant to be a quiet street. The design of the road is also extremely enticing for hoons to speed down currently, let alone with extra traffic, particularly during the night. 5. We have already seen an increase in trucks and service vehicles which have commenced various works on Great Eastern Highway using Daly Street as a short cut during the night. The orange flashing lights, the noise from trucks and machinery is already causing a disturbance late at night. Besides the increased of this as the road works on Great Eastern Highway start, we do not believe it is necessary for even more traffic to be encouraged down Daly Street from a McDonald's. Please, we are encouraging you, our local Council, to support us, your residents, against the proposed building of yet another fast food restaurant in our area. The anti-social repercussions of this will be drastic and the effect on our local area will simply create another centralised trouble spot, please support us in making Belmont a great place to live. 11.

Outside Referral Area I would like to note that there is currently a McDonald's further up Great Eastern Highway. I don't believe that bringing more of these unhealthy chains into our district is a good idea. We should be looking at healthy alternatives, such as coffee strips where cyclists can gather, or small locally owned businesses such as small restaurants. I would also like to note that the first thing everyone says when they arrive in a new city is 'look...you can't go anywhere without seeing a McDonald's.' As Great Eastern Highway is a major arterial road from the airport, why don't we The mixed use zoning provides for the development of cafe and restaurant facilities. Each development application is assessed on its individual merits and will be determined accordingly. A12 No. 15. Name D and R Booth and M Booth Affected Property Outside Referral Area Resume of Submission encourage small restaurants and coffee strips to populate the area in your proposal so that tourists see Perth as a vibrant and lively city with desirable amenities, not a 24hr maccas. I actually worked at McDonald's for many years whilst studying and trust me when I say the smell and the people it exposes the surrounding environment too is not desirable. Submission pro-forma submitted. Refer to Submission 1 above for details/response. We would like to formally register our opposition to this proposal and request that Belmont Council not approve this application for the following reasons: • • • • • • • There is not good access to these sites from east bound lanes of Great Eastern Highway, so traffic will use Belgravia Street, Hardey Road, Daly Street and the streets of Belgravia Estate to access McDonald's. McDonald's branded refuse is acknowledged to be a significant portion (if not the majority) of discarded rubbish. We have lived a short distance from another McDonald's restaurant and most of the considerable amount of rubbish was from McDonald's. Belmont Council has done a fantastic job of improving Centenary Park and the lake, and birdlife is prolific there now with established families of black swans, ducks, heron, spoonfills, ibis and pelicans. Rubbish that will result from McDonald's will degrade the park and threaten the birdlife. Anti-social behaviour of people arriving or leaving McDonalds and congregating in the carpark 24 hours a day will detract from the family neighbourhood we have and that Belmont Council is trying to enhance. Daly Street is not setup as a pedestrian way (footpaths are not continuous) and increased pedestrian traffic along Daly Street will use residential verges and gardens of houses in Belgravia Estate. There are already McDonald's restaurants in the neighbourhood one at Belmont Forum Shopping Centre and also another a short distance along Great Eastern Highway towards the domestic airport from the proposed location. We don't need anymore. Vehicles accessing the 24hr restaurant will increase traffic through our developing residential area, including Belgravia Estate which is an established 'Local Traffic Only' area, to get to or leave McDonald's via Daly Street. We are sure there are many more negative aspects to allowing a McDonald's restaurant at this location or in this vicinity, but can't think of one good reason to allow this development. We urge Belmont Council to continue the development of a residential and family based area (ie Belgravia Estate, Ascot Waters) and separate businesses requiring high volume access such as McDonald's from residential areas. Businesses that operate and incur traffic during normal business hours only are more acceptable and less disruptive ie are more conducive to operating alongside established residential areas. Officer Comment Refer Submission 1. The comments regarding the footpaths on Daly Street are noted and will be referred to the City’s Technical Services Department as a separate matter. The comments regarding the number of fast food outlets within close proximity to the subject site is noted, however this matter is not a planning consideration. In regards to land use compatibility refer to Officers Comments. While it is recognised that obesity is a nationwide issue, the City cannot determine a development application on these grounds. Notwithstanding this, it should be noted that McDonalds offer a healthy choice range. A13 No. Name Affected Property Resume of Submission Again, we oppose the McDonald's proposal to develop the Daly Street/Great Eastern Highway site and request that Belmont Council dismiss the application for development. Officer Comment I am writing to you to express my disgust at having McDonald's fast food restaurant built at 235 Great Eastern Highway, Belmont. Are you insane? Having another fast food restaurant in Belmont would be mad. We already have two McDonald's restaurants in Belmont. How could we possibly need another one? Not only does the dropping of McDonald's packaging pollute our parks and rivers (this new restaurant will be a few hundred metres from Centenary Park lake) but more importantly fast food increased the number of obese children in our community. I ahve been studing childhood obesity in PEAC at school so I now understand the huge impact of obesity on the health of our children. The new McDonald's will be about 250 metres from Belmont Primary School if this plan goes through. Because of where most of the kids who go to Belmont Primary live, this means that many of them will walk directly past the new McDonald's on their way to and from school. Children will be tempted to go into McDonald's before school and buy unhealthy food and drink such as Coca-Cola so they will be really wired in class and won't be able to concentrate. Or they will buy an unhealthy lunch and throw away their lunch that came from home. I know this because at my school (East Victoria Park Primary) children buy high energy drinks, chips and chocolate from the local deli on their way to school. They either take their own pocket money or they steal their parent's money to spend on unhealthy foods. Already the number of overweight or obese children in Western Australia has tiripled in the last 20 years. One quarter of boys and a third of girls aged 7 to 15 were obese in 2033. Adding another fast food restaurant will just increase these statistics even more. It has been predicted that if children don't stop eating unhealthy foods 65% of young Australians will be obese by 2020. Being obese also increases the risk of the following diseases: Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and liver disease, sleep apnoea, gout, osteoarthritis and many more. It may not be illegal to build a fact food restaurant so clsoe to a school but it should be. Allowing this plan to go ahead would be very unwise. 16.

Surely, any responsible corporation would do their homework and consider not to contribute operations that will damage or degrade the way of living of local residents, whom have invested large amounts of their earned money to live in an area that was safe, clean and respected. Vice versa, the residents would of done their homework before buying property in the area (with reference to Belgravia Estate especially) making sure that the area would remain pleasant ot live in and experience sound investment growth over time. I'm really concerned that the applicant has not understood the best interests of the local community including residents, the nearby primary school, wildlife and other business operators in the area. I already use on occasions the 24hr McDonald's outlet at Belmont Forum and Great Eastern Highway (near airport); both short distances away. I fail to see why another eatery outlet is required other than McDonald's is franchised based which attracts operators who consider making a fast buck more important than a suitable location. Locally, a majority of eatery, fast-food sites are located on the west side of Great Eastern Highway and I think from a tourist entry point of view, it will show consistency in the business mix locations. There should be no reasons why it can't be located near the other franchises on the corner of Great Eastern Highway and Hardey Road near KFC, Hungry Jacks, Dominoes and with all the other franchises, it will still trade well because I believe if you really want McDonald's, you will do so despite the close competition. Daly Street has wildlife crossing regularly and is at threat from increased non-local traffic, if the applicant claims the proposed site. Local traffic, the one thing than can be currently monitored and enforced by the Council will be diminished not to mention what the residents paid for as part of the new Belgravia Estate property purchases. I'm sure Belmont Council has considered the negative ramificiations and increased costs associated if the site goes ahead, that do not need to be reiterated by me as there have been numerous feedback comments already. It's not fair to impose another social and economic cost to residents and the community. The last thing the new upgraded Great Eastern Highway needs is a bottleneck of motorists entering/exiting onto the Highway slowing the flow of traffic once again, which I'm sure a lot of the regular motorists and cyclists are painfully enduring at the moment. In closing, I am opposed to the application as there is just no need for a 24hr McDonald's franchise or any other similar franchise in that local area and specifically that location address. Increasing business services is what Belmont should be attracting as the Perth CBD offices have Refer Submission 1. The application as submitted is to be determined in accordance with the zoning and scheme provisions. As previously stated, property value is not a planning consideration.

Refer to Submission 1 above for details/response. Refer Submission 1. 20. P Chin Outside Referral Area A 24 hour establishment in that area of our suburb will only liven things up and will be a catalyst for other similar businesses to set up shop in the area. The problem with Perth at present is that it's dead in most areas after 5pm. Refer Submission 1. We need to live in clusters of communities which can have easy access to shops, eateries and even entertaiment. In Asia and Europe, a trip to such amenities is always just a short walk away. We have to come away from this 18th century Perth mindset which has been entrenched in us and preventing the progress and development of Perth all this while. The rise of hoons and anti-social behavior is not the result of 24 hour establishments but a lack of control in the upbringing and education of people in the western society, certainly not due to McDonald’s or anyone else choosing to open 24 hours. At the moment the area for the proposed development is a dark spot and a risk for anyone to be wandering around at night in that area. Any people orientated project will light up this section of the road and make it safer even for people who would want to use Daly Street as a passageway from the bus stop to their home and vice versa. I would throw out your petition. 21. R and Z Eagger Outside Referral Area Submission pro-forma submitted. Refer to Submission 1 above for details/response. Refer Submission 1. 22.

Each application submitted is assessed on its individual merits. A McDonald’s fast food take away would bring more traffic to our area. We alrady have had our lifestyle and safety affected by a sharp increase n traffic ude to congestion at the intersection of Belgravia Street and Katoomba Place after the Council approved an application by Ritz Drycleaners (to which we objected) and the alteration to the accessability at the intersection of Belgravia and Barker Streets. We have had a marked increase in trucks and cars driving thru the Estate. Please take notice of your ratepayers this time. We do not wish our lifestyle and safety to be adversly affected even further. 33. M and R Mahony Outside Referral Area Submission pro-forma submitted.

My wife and I are in Centenary Park every day and are forever picking up rubbish, much of it from fast food outlets. The Council has recently erected signs telling people to keep their dogs on a lead. From what I've observed any problems in Centenary Park are not caused by four legged A17 No. Name Affected Property Resume of Submission animals but by two legged ones. Apart from the continous deposits of rubbish we've seen people trying to trap ducks and idiots swimming in the lake trying to get to the island disturbing the wildlife. Officer Comment Unfortunately none of them have drowned as yet. We've also had bins and trees set alight. The 'local traffic' signs at the entrances to Belgravia Estate have had zero effect on traffic using the Estate as a 'cut through'. It is very common to see vehicles racing through the Estate. A McDonald's would just add to all of these problems. 41. M Del Borrello Inside Referral Area Submission pro-forma submitted. Refer to Submission 1 above for details/response. Refer Submission 1. 42.

I was not able to reply in time for the application as I was away from 17 April to 30 April 2011. We have signed the concern issue form which was sent to us on 18 April. Please allow me to raise my concern. There are already cases of existing hoon drivers along Barker Street and Hargreaves Street. I have witnessed these cases when I was going the verge cleaning especially between 5:30pm to 6:30pm but do not have time to record down the car details. I would also like to suggest to install two speed humps along Barker Street between Daly to Belgravia Streets (it is a long stretch of road) to deter hoon driving.
